Service We Provide

Social Prescribing

Social prescribing link workers play a key role in delivering social prescribing by giving people time, focusing on ‘what matters to me’ and taking a holistic approach to people’s health and wellbeing in order to connect them to appropriate community groups and services.

Social prescribing link workers play a pivotal role by developing trusting relationships and providing personalised support. As a result, their work:

• strengthens community resilience
• reduces health inequalities by addressing the wider determinants of health, such as debt, poor housing and physical inactivity
• increases people’s active involvement with their local communities

Social prescribing link workers also support existing community groups to be accessible and sustainable, and help people to start new groups, working collaboratively with all local partners.

Physiotherapy

We have a Practice Physiotherapist available to deliver face-to-face physiotherapy as well as telephone consultations for advice and treatment.

Antenatal Clinic

The Practice offers Antenatal and Postnatal care run by the GPs and a Midwife.

Minor Surgery

The GPs undertake minor operations when appropriate to help save long waits for hospital treatment. Consult the surgery for details.

Smoking Cessation Clinics

Smoking can seriously damage your health. For advice and assistance in giving up smoking contact the surgery to book an appointment.

Cervical Smear Tests

Cervical smear tests are offered to all female patients between the ages of 25 and 64. These are performed by our Practice Nurses by appointment. Cancer of the cervix can be prevented and the tests are intended to detect early changes that could lead to cancer of the cervix. All women are advised to have regular smear tests – three yearly for women between the ages of 25 and 50 and five yearly between the ages of 51 and 64. We operate a recall system.
